MxTube (download youtube videos onto iPhone)
Flashlight (this third party app actually puts the phone on full brightness, unlike the App Store flashlight program. I tend to use this app a a lot coming home late at night)
SBSettings (toggles settings like bluetooth, wifi, 3g, reboot, respring at almost anywhere on the screen. It might not sound impressive but it's very convenient)
Themes (i can't live without this one. having different themes really sets apart my iPhone to the million other iPhones.

Have you tried Dynolicious? I use it all the time for my car and friend's car to see how many WHP our car gets, especially after a mod. It cost me like 13 bucks. It's actually very accurate and somewhere on the internet, some guy did a test and this iPhone app is more accurate than a $200 dyno.

The sizzle in the Steak
^^ Your thoughts on redlaser?
How well does it work?
Did you get accurate pricing/comparison pricing?

I got it...Works, but only compares prices on online sites....Would be cool if it could see in store prices as well. That said, I scanned a coffee maker at Macys that was $80 cheaper online....

Is it me or does Remote not work until you open it, close iTunes, then open iTunes again? Then if you exit Remote and enter it again without closing iTunes, Remote will not detect iTunes.
Confusing, but annoying too. I've tried all the obvious ones, rebooting my computer, rebooting my iPhone...

One of the new projects I've been a part of at work is the development of an iPhone app called "Space Images"
I'm happy to report that yesterday it was released to the public!
Check it out here:
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/space...347075764?mt=8
We're still active in it's development working on updates and new features. So any feedback is much appreciated.

Anyone having trouble buying the Flamethrower from Tower Madness? It says I don't have a Test User account, and to buy it I have to create an account in the Sandbox environment

Is there an app or any way I can...perhaps, pre-type out a text message, and assign it to be sent out at a future time/date?

My apps
Facebook - Great app other than the occasional glitches and crashes
installous(cydia) - Half of these apps wouldnt be here if it werent for this
cycorder(cydia) - wanted to take videos. A ltl laggy and you cant take the vids off the iphone without some effort
google - like their layout and works good.
Aim - alright i guess
Gas cubby - love this app, i religiously put my gas fill up info in this since August of last year. Great stats and great way to keep track of mileage, money spent on car and things like that.
Engadget - saves me time from going to safari and typing it in, better layout than whats offered on safari's mobile version.
flixster - occasionally use this but it works great
espn sports center - wish it was easier to access team box scores, and that you dont have to exit one team to look at the stats of the other team they are facing
dictionary - good but only occasionally use it
air mouse - this works great especially when I hook up my laptop to the tv and I dont wanna keep getting up to play/pause or w/e
Bank of America - pretty good I guess
Doodle jump - by far my favorite game!!! Record is like 208,000
icopter - when I'm bored of doodle jump
moron test - dont play it anymore but it keeps me entertained when friends attempt to play
tetris - good game and works great
Cnn - alright news source use it occasionally
new york times - great news app, my favorite by far. Love the layout
Pandora - Great music app when Im tired of the songs on my phone.
App Box pro - translator and and some other apps are sometimes useful but rarely use it, I should probably delete it
Boxed in - was a great puzzle game, kinda bored of it now
traffic rush - second favorite game on the iphone (i love those simple games)
falling balls - great game for the iphone as well, can keep me entertained for some time
shazam - proved to be very useful so I like it. Easy to use as well
Paper toss world tour - used to be an entertaining game, got tired of it, dunno why its still on my phone
Mx Mayhem - Alright game for a ltl, gets old quickly
Real Racing - The only 3D game I have, I think. But its a great game as well
Web MD - Its fun to just browse some things and increase your knowledge, good layout as well and easy to use
Flight control - Alright game, entertaining for a ltl then gets old
Cool facts - I think I've been through a 1000 or so kinda old now
cube runner - fun little game
Implode - Was a great game till I couldnt beat a stupid level!!
Wikihow - just an interesting read sometimes. I guess its good to know some of those survival facts
NBA league pass - love this app especially for watching Miami Heat games that dont come on TNT
Dynolicious - love this app also, used it quite a few times with my acura. I just do it for the timing not the hp since I never weighed my car. I believe the timings are accurate, the speedo is pretty accurate with my cars
Angles & Demons - Book readers on the iphone are pretty good. Still would take a physical book but not bad.
Red laser - Used it a couple times but sometimes when the packaging is covered in plastic its hard to get a good read on it
Winterboard- play with some teams
F1 timing app - Good for my F1 stuff
Backgrounder - Gives me multitasking so its good
The impossible game - Its really impossible.
Now that I shared my apps I have on my phone right now, I'm a read your's and see if there are any im missing out on
Any new ones people have seen that seem good??

DIRECTV - I program my DVR almost exclusively with this
FlipTime - decent little clock app
Google - don't use this much, but handy for voice searches
2 Across - decent little crossword app
MyFanTeams - Fantasy sports for Yahoo. Since those idiots can't seem to recognize my username with their app

Shazam - must for identifying music

^I thought Kindle charged for books once you get the free app?
edit: I should try out texas hold'em, a lot of people on this thread play that game apparently. Do you play against computer or online?
